[0016] The core flow characteristic analysis simulation device includes a measuring component 16, a connecting pipe 1, a clamp 12, a confining pressure pump 13, a back pressure valve 14, a back pressure pump 15, a foam generator 3, piston containers A4, B5, and C6, and horizontal flow pumps A8 and B9 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 ).
[0017] The lower end of the connecting pipe 1 is connected in parallel to the foam generator 3, piston container A4, piston container B5 and piston container C6 via the feed valve 2.
[0018] The foam generator 3 includes a sealed container 18, an upper sealing cover 19, a lower sealing cover 20, a pressure transmitting piston 21, and a stirring blade 22; the upper sealing cover 19 and the lower sealing cover 20 are respectively installed at both ends of the sealed container 18; the pressure transmitting piston 21 is installed inside the sealed container 18; the stirring blade 22 is installed at the upper part of the sealed container 18 via a motor (see the attached instruction manual). Figure 3 ).
[0019] When the stirring blade 22 is working, it can stir the carbon dioxide, foaming agent, foam stabilizer and related additives that enter the sealed container 18 to produce carbon dioxide foam.
[0020] Piston containers A4, B5, and C6 all include a container body 23, a sealing plate 24, and a sliding piston 25 (see the appendix to the instruction manual). Figure 3 The container body 23 is equipped with removable sealing plates 24 at both ends; the container body 23 is equipped with a sliding piston 25 (see the instruction manual). Figure 3 During operation, the sliding piston 25, when subjected to force, can push the material on the upper part of the container body 23 out of the container body 23.
[0021] The lower ends of the foam generator 3 and piston container A4 are connected to a horizontal flow pump A8 via a pressure supply valve 7 (see instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 When the horizontal flow pump A8 is working, it can drive the pressure-transmitting piston 21 and sliding piston 25 in the foam generator 3 and piston container A4 through the pressure supply valve 7 and the pressure transmission medium, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the material output in the foam generator 3 and piston container A4.
[0022] The lower ends of piston containers B5 and C6 are connected to a horizontal flow pump B9 via a pressure supply valve 7 (see instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 When the horizontal flow pump B9 is working, it can drive the sliding piston 25 in piston container B5 and piston container C6 to move through the pressure supply valve 7 and the pressure transmission medium, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the material output in piston container B5 and piston container C6.
[0023] The upper end of the connecting pipe 1 is connected in parallel with switch valve A10 and switch valve B11 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 One end of the switching valve A10 is connected to a carbon dioxide supply pipe 17 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 During operation, high-pressure carbon dioxide will be supplied to the analytical simulation device through carbon dioxide supply pipe 17 and switching valve A10.
[0024] One end of the switching valve B11 is connected to a clamp 12; a confining pressure pump 13 is connected to the outside of the clamp 12; a back pressure valve 14 and a back pressure pump 15 are connected to the output end of the clamp 12 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 The clamp 12, confining pressure pump 13, back pressure valve 14, and back pressure pump 15 are all purchased equipment.
[0025] The outlet end of the back pressure valve 14 is connected to the measuring component 16 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 ).
[0026] Measuring assembly 16 includes a burette 33, a measuring beaker 29, an electronic scale 28, a desiccator 31, and a flow meter (see instruction manual appendix). Figure 3 ).
[0027] The upper end of the burette 33 is fitted with a sealing plug 26; the outlet end of the back pressure valve 14 is connected to a guide tube 27; the guide tube 27 passes through the sealing plug 26 and extends into the interior of the burette 33; an electronic scale 28 is installed below the burette 33; a measuring beaker 29 is placed on the electronic scale 28; an output tube 30 is connected to the sealing plug 26; one end of the output tube 30 is connected in sequence to a dryer 31 and a flow meter 32 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 2 ).
[0028] When the core seepage characteristic analysis simulation device is working, first open the sealing plate 24 at the top of piston container A4, piston container B5 and piston container C6. Then, according to the design weight, the foaming agent, foam stabilizer and additives are loaded into piston container A4, piston container B5 and piston container C6 respectively, and the sealing plate 24 is installed.
[0029] After the above steps are completed, open the switch valve A10 and the feed valve 2 at the top of the foam generator 3. At this time, high-pressure carbon dioxide will enter the foam generator 3 through the carbon dioxide feed pipe 17 and the switch valve A10. During this process, with the cooperation of the horizontal flow pump A8, horizontal flow pump B9, pressure supply valve 7 and feed valve 2, piston containers A4, B5 and C6 respectively input the foaming agent, foam stabilizer and additive into the foam generator 3.
[0030] After carbon dioxide, foaming agent, foam stabilizer and additives enter the foam generator 3, carbon dioxide foam can be formed under the stirring action of the stirring blade 22. After the carbon dioxide foam is prepared and shaped, the horizontal flow pump B9, pressure supply valve 7 and switch valve A10 are closed; then the switch valve B11 is opened, so that the foam generator 3, with the cooperation of the horizontal flow pump A8, the corresponding pressure supply valve 7 and the feed valve 2, inputs the carbon dioxide foam into the clamp 12.
[0031] After carbon dioxide foam enters the holder 12, it passes through the rock core inside to form permeate fluid. The permeate fluid passes through the back pressure valve 14 and enters the burette 33. After the permeate fluid enters the burette 33, the permeate liquid in the permeate fluid will fall into the burette 33, and the permeate gas in the permeate fluid will pass through the dryer 31 and the flow meter 32. The flow meter 32 will measure the permeate gas.
[0032] After the above steps are completed, open the burette 33 to allow the permeate to fall into the measuring beaker 29, and measure the weight using the electronic scale 28. At this point, the core seepage characteristic analysis simulation device has completed the carbon dioxide foam injection simulation experiment. After cleaning, the core seepage characteristic analysis simulation device can proceed to the next working cycle.
[0033] This core seepage characteristic analysis simulation device is compact and ingeniously designed. It can adjust carbon dioxide foam through foam generator 3, thereby solving the problem that existing simulation devices cannot simulate carbon dioxide foam injection process. It is particularly suitable for the needs of core seepage characteristic analysis.
